This airborne LiDAR terrain mapping data was acquired in the spring of 2001. The data
were collected for the floodplain mapping program for the state of North Carolina.
The data were collected for the state in three phases: 1, 2, and 3. This metadata
record describes that data that were in phase 1 of collection and fall within the
Cape Fear and Lumber River Basins in central and eastern North Carolina. This area
consists of 30 counties which are listed below in the Place Keywords field. The data
were received by the NOAA Coastal Services Center from the U.S. Geological Survey
(USGS) Center for Lidar Coordination and Knowledge (CLICK). For data storage and Digital
Coast provisioning purposes, the CSC converted the data to geographic coordinates
and ellipsoid (Geoid99) elevations. The data are unclassified.
